The Liberals really FUBARed the gun registry in terms of implementation cost. It doesn't mean that anything any government does is going to be an administrative nightmare. Even now the registry exists and the administrative costs are under control. However, it's usefulness can certainly still be debated. But all that to say I'm not convinced that because some projects in the past have had huge cost overruns that I'm going to assume that all future projects will be administrative nightmares.
But as to your point regarding some magical trillionaire coming up with something that will solve the worlds problems, I think that wishful thinking. The fact is that a company making environmental friendly products is usually at an absolutely huge disadvantage to those near breaking emissions laws. If I am company X with factories that are emitting horrible amounts of pollution, what incentive do I have to clean it up? Stupid company Y spent $2billion installing scrubbers and filters, meaning their products now cost $10 more per unit than company X. It's obvious to me that company Y was stupid and should lose all their investors, no?
